Course Description:
A course designed for the upper-level Latin student, focusing on Catullus, the great lyric poet of the late Republic. We will read the Catullian corpus in its entirety (or very close to it) and explore the literary issues raised by the poet. There will be assignments in secondary critical literature, as well as possible forays into some of the Greek poets who influenced Catullus. A reading knowledge of Latin is essential, prior knowledge of Greek is desirable. |
